Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of the Reanl Angiomyolipoma
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
We describe a case of the needle aspiration cytology of angiomyolipoma which was not associated with the clinical complex of tuberous sclerosis and was incidentally found. It was a solitary lesion and the clinical impression before needle
aspiration
was renal cell carcinoma. The aspirated specimen showed mature fat cells. clusters of renal tubular epithelial cells and sheets of pleomorphic smooth muscle cells with fibrillary cytoplasm. The nuclei of smooth muscle cells varied in size
and
shape, Since the treatment of renal angiomyolipoma differs from that of renal cell carcinoma, the preoperative cytological diagnosis is of great value .
